From clam spirit to mirage dragon fairy

Chapter 90
Although Su Ziji now has some grudges against Elva Hsiao, the affection between the emperor and his ministers for many years is still there. He did not refute Elva Hsiao's suggestion. He asked Elva Hsiao to investigate and then let Elva Hsiao go to work.

Su Ziji sat behind the desk and continued to review the memorials. All the affairs of the country were on his shoulders. Su Ziji would be busy until midnight every day before returning to the harem to rest.

But today, Su Ziji felt that his energy was very strong and his mind was very clear, and he quickly finished reviewing the thick pile of memorials.

Only then did Su Ziji remember that he had promised to rest in the Poppy Palace.

Thinking of Poppy's charming and delicate body, Su Ziji's heart ignited a fire, as if he suddenly returned to his passionate and budding youth.

Originally, Su Ziji, who had just lost his youngest son as a father, should not be thinking about the affair at this time, but the desire in his heart was really difficult to control.

"Forget it, Concubine Ming is too sad and wants to rest now. Let's comfort her tomorrow."

Su Ziji found a reason for himself and hurried to the Poppy Palace.

After a while, Su Ziji fell into a deep sleep.

"Father, father, I am..."

In a daze, Su Ziji seemed to see his young son Su Mingzhao running towards him in a panic with his short legs covered in blood. As he ran, he looked back in horror as if there was someone behind him. It was as if some terrifying existence was chasing him.

"Don't be afraid, Ming Zhao, the emperor is here."

After all, due to the deep love between father and son, Su Ziji decided to save his prince without even thinking about it.

"hold head high--"

Suddenly a dragon roar sounded, and a demonic dragon with two clam shells on its back like a pair of wings descended from the sky and swallowed his prince into the air.

"Father—"

Su Mingzhao, who was as small as a dumpling, only had time to let out a miserable scream before he was bitten to pieces by the demonic dragon and swallowed with blood and water.

"Ming Zhao——"

Su Ziji felt a pain in his heart and immediately burst into boundless anger.

"Demon dragon, please give back my prince's life -"

Su Ziji didn't know where he got the strength from, he jumped up and transformed into a five-clawed golden dragon that was a thousand feet long and rushed towards the demonic dragon to kill it.

The two divine dragons fought fiercely between heaven and earth, and the fighting turned violent. The sun and moon dimmed, and countless dragon blood turned into heavy rain and fell from the sky.

It's a pity that Su Ziji didn't check at the last moment and was bitten by the demon dragon on the neck. The red dragon's blood spurted out and was swallowed mercilessly by the demon dragon.

"It hurts me too——"

Su Ziji screamed and sat up in surprise. Only then did he realize that it was just a dream. He turned around to see that the sky was still dark and the night was still dark.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong? But I have a nightmare."

Poppy Yu was woken up by Su Ziji and pulled Su Ziji with concern on her face to ask.

"It's nothing, it's just a nightmare. Don't worry, beauty. Just continue to rest."

Su Ziji gently comforted Poppy, but he was still a little frightened and couldn't sleep anymore.

“Isn’t a demonic dragon with clam shells on its back a mirage?

Very similar to the general.

How could I have such a dream? "

Su Ziji thought secretly.

But after thinking hard for a long time, I didn't have any clue. I could only blame myself for thinking too much and fell asleep again.

But this dream made Su Ziji unable to forget it for a long time, as if there was a thorn in his heart.

After having lunch during the day, Su Ziji went to the imperial study room and read a book "Ancient Alien Beasts" from the bookshelf.

"It looks like a dragon, with horns and ears, and a mane on its back painted red. It huffs and puffs into a pavilion. When it rains, you can see its fat and wax and turn it into a candle. The fragrance can be smelled a hundred steps away, and the smoke comes out from it, forming the shape of a pavilion."

His nature is cunning and tolerant.

It makes the clouds and mist stir up wind and rain, and its appearance is not revealed when it comes in and out.

They often exist at the mouths of rivers to lure passing ships into their mouths to fill their stomachs. "

Su Ziji felt a cloud in his heart when he read the record about the mirage in the book.

According to records, the mirage is a ferocious dragon that is cunning and likes to eat people.

But looking back and thinking about what Gu Yang had done, Su Ziji shook his head again, feeling that he was a complete loser.

No matter how you look at it, Guyang is not that kind of man-eating beast. Instead, he is very kind and helpful to Da Yin.

Shaking away the worry in his mind, Su Ziji threw the book aside and continued to review the memorial.

On the other side, Elva Hsiao failed to catch Poppy's sore feet after several days of investigation.

However, Elva Hsiao did not find nothing. In a hidden corner of the palace, Elva Hsiao found a small bunch of black hair.

The hair exudes a faint smell of monsters, which cannot be found without careful inspection.

Based on the length and softness of the hair, Xiao Yaxuan speculated that this was a large cat, left behind by monsters such as tigers and leopards.

Following this clue, Elva Hsiao continued to track and finally targeted a black cat that often appeared near Chongwen Hall.

Many nobles in the palace have the habit of keeping raccoon pets. Those little things are spoiled and lawless and often run around in the palace.

And as time went by, these raccoon slaves left behind countless wild descendants.

Therefore, it is not uncommon to see ownerless raccoon slaves running around in the palace.

The black raccoon slave is said to be an unlucky thing, so usually such pure black raccoon slaves will be expelled from the palace to avoid offending any nobleman.

But there will always be fish that slip through the net.

There is such a pure black raccoon slave that often hangs around Chongwen Hall.

Because of its cute appearance, the little princes who were still unworldly loved this little guy very much and would often secretly feed it food.

The guards who were responsible for guarding didn't take Linyi seriously, so they didn't pay attention.

When Xiao Yaxuan noticed this raccoon slave, he carefully searched for the traces of this raccoon slave.

It's just that the raccoon slave seems to be very intelligent and knows that Elva Hsiao is looking for it, so it has been playing hide and seek with Elva Hsiao. Even if it occasionally shows up, it disappears in a flash, and Elva Hsiao cannot lock the target at all.

But Xiao Yaxuan did not give up. He knew that once this beast ate a person, he would no longer be able to control the ferocity in his body, and sooner or later he would come out to commit crimes again.

So Xiao Yaxuan quietly removed all the people and hid them in the dark, setting up a dragnet and waiting for this beast to take the bait.

Of course, Elva Hsiao did not tell Su Ziji this.

That beast only ate the prince instead of others, and there were people covering his tracks. It was obvious that there was a master behind it.

An idle kid can't lure this beast away, so he can only use these princes and princesses as bait.

And Su Ziji would definitely not agree to this plan, so Xiao Yaxuan simply did not report it and planned to capture this beast first.

The defense lasted for three days.

That evening Elva Hsiao finally reached his goal.

After the princes and princesses finished school, a palm-sized black cat quietly ran out from the corner and called out "meow" to a six or seven-year-old prince, looking so helpless and pitiful.

But Xiao Yaxuan, who was hiding in the dark, could see the cold and fierce light in the little black cat's eyes, as if the little prince in front of him had become a piece of fat in its eyes.

"Axuan——, where have you been these days, Axuan?"

The little prince looked at the little black cat with surprise on his face as he quietly shook off the servant and went to get close to the little black cat.

"Damn-"

Elva Hsiao’s heart trembled.

That was the third prince Su Minghao, the second son of Queen Wen.In ordinary families, this is the second son, a descendant who may inherit the family business, let alone a prince.

If something unexpected happened to this little ancestor, Da Yin would have to rebel against heaven.

"Your Highness, step back——"

Xiao Yaxuan dodged and rushed in front of Su Minghao, holding his sword and looking at the little black cat warily.

"Master Xiao? Don't hurt Ah Xuan——"

Su Minghao looked at Xiao Yaxuan pitifully, fearing that Xiao Yaxuan would hurt his little friend.

"Come here, take His Highness back to the palace——"

Elva Hsiao shouted in agreement with a cold face, and put all his energy on the little black cat.

Two pairs of guards immediately rushed out from the darkness, picked up Su Minghao and ran away.

Now we are catching monsters. If this little ancestor is rubbed and held, they will all lose their heads.

"Meow--"

The little black cat tilted his head and looked at Elva Hsiao "innocently".

"You bastard, stop showing off, you can't escape today."

Xiao Yaxuan pressed the sword with his hand and slowly mobilized the awe-inspiring righteousness in his body.

This place is the inner courtyard of the palace. Even Xiao Yaxuan, an important official of the imperial court, cannot use magic power here. This is a rule set by humanity. Unless the national destiny declines in the last years of the dynasty, no one can break it.

Therefore, Xiao Yaxuan is now just a mortal with some skills, and can only use the aura of awe, which is also the power of humanity, to protect his body.

The opponent is different.

This is a demonic beast, and even if it cannot use its demonic power, it may not be easy to deal with with just physical strength.

"Roar--"

The little black cat seemed to have noticed Xiao Yaxuan's hostility, but this time it did not choose to run away. It is not known whether it was hungry or had received instructions from the person behind it.

With a deep beast roar, the little black cat's body expanded like a balloon, and in the blink of an eye it transformed into a black panther that was more than four feet tall and nearly a foot long with black fur.

"Netherworld Leopard!"

Elva Hsiao was shocked.

This is actually a strange monster.

He had seen records of this strange beast in a practice journal.

This is a kind of monster born in the gap between yin and yang. It can go in and out of the netherworld to get food like wind and various ghosts and ghosts. Of course, occasionally this guy will also eat other blood food. It is considered an omnivorous monster.

The Nether Leopard, who showed his true colors, could no longer hide his ferocity, and his blood-red eyes stared at Elva Hsiao with a cruel light.

"Gollum—"

Elva Hsiao swallowed.

He is a gentle man. Although he knows a few swordsmanship, he is still a little reluctant to fight with such a natural monster.

This is not a question of whether you can win, but it is a matter of losing your scholarly demeanor, that's right.

Elva Hsiao comforted herself like this.

"Brother Gu, why don't you take action?"

Xiao Yaxuan shouted at Yuhuachi.

"Whoa-"

Guyang broke out of the water and opened two clam shells to reveal the dragon body inside, which transformed into the size of a house and stared fiercely at the Nether Leopard in front of him.

With Xiao Yaxuan's intelligence, how could he not make arrangements after knowing that he was dealing with a monster?

He had quietly informed Guyang a long time ago, so Guyang had been hiding in the water and waiting for opportunities.

This guy framed him, and Guyang would not give him a chance to escape.

"Roar--"

The Nether Leopard seemed a little scared when it smelled the dragon energy on Guyang's body, but soon became ferocious again and roared at Guyang.

"Hey, you are quite courageous——"

Guyang sneered in his heart.

An ordinary animal would probably lose its resistance immediately if it smells the dragon energy on its body, but this Nether Leopard can still resist, which shows that its bloodline is also extraordinary.

But it doesn't matter, Gu Yang has never thought of relying on bloodline suppression.

"Whoosh-"

It is worthy of being a monster that can enter and exit the netherworld like the wind. Although it cannot use its magical power to travel between yin and yang in the palace, its physical speed alone has exceeded the speed of sound.

The extremely fast afterimage hadn't dissipated yet, and the Nether Leopard had already rushed in front of Guyang and bit into Guyang's neck.

Although Gu Yang recovered some of his mana and was promoted to the Yin Shen stage of the third realm, he could not use any magical powers in the palace. However, Gu Yang had a dragon head, dragon tendons, dragon spine, and dragon heart but no dragon scales, so he couldn't Dare you be bitten by this guy.

Although Mirage is not only good at speed, but after all, his physical fitness has reached a certain level, so he is not a weakling who can only passively be beaten.

"Go to hell--"

Guyang tilted his head and opened his bloody mouth to bite the little Nether Leopard's neck.

At this moment, Su Ziji also received the news and hurried over with a team of guards.

Seeing Guyang's huge mouth full of fangs and ferocious dragon head, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered his weird dream.

Gu Yang couldn't care about what Su Ziji thought now. In fact, he didn't care about Su Ziji at all. He wished he could leave the palace as soon as possible.

The Nether Leopard was also extraordinary. He twisted his waist in mid-air to avoid Guyang's mouth, and scratched with his claws.

Guyang turned over like a kite and used his clam shell to block the Nether Leopard's sharp claws.

In the past few years, Guyang has practiced eighteen classes of martial arts in the Spiritual Fantasy Fairyland. Although he is not a human being, he can still use some martial arts moves.

The Nether Leopard's claws scratched out a stream of sparks on Guyang's clam shell and landed lightly on the ground on the other side.

No one took advantage in this round. The Nether Leopard was no longer eager to attack, but was circling around Guyang in an elegant catwalk, waiting for opportunities to find flaws.

Guyang swung the dragon's tail to launch a surprise attack, but unfortunately the Nether Leopard was too flexible and was dodged by it.

The Nether Leopard is a natural hunter. It is not eager to attack but keeps probing. Every time it breaks down at the first touch, it makes Gu Yang unable to grasp the painful leg, which makes Gu Yang upset.

However, Gu Yang gradually began to pay attention to the opponent in front of him.

This was his first time fighting a land monster in hand-to-hand combat, and he had no use for much of his experience and could only deal with it with caution.

Gu Yang silently cleared away the distracting thoughts in his mind and thought about countermeasures.

Suddenly, Gu Yang thought of his old rival "Carp King", and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

The power of Qi and blood poured into the two dragon whiskers at the corners of his mouth.

The dragon's whiskers, which were originally more than two feet long, glowed with a red light and grew rapidly, turning into a pair of dragon whiskers that were more than three feet long in the blink of an eye.

"You evil beast, let's watch and beat him——"

The dragon whisker danced several whips in the air. One of the whips was like a spiritual snake coming out of its hole to block the Nether Leopard's movement space, and the other was like a spear and halberd that flashed left and right and pointed directly at the Nether Leopard's vitals.

At this moment, Gu Yang integrated all his whip skills and spear skills into the pair of dragon whiskers, vowing to take down this beast that framed him.
